New Study Says What Pennsylvania Is Best In

Every U.S. state has something that it simply does best, and that makes the identity of each state special. For example, looking across the United States, California is known for Hollywood and the superstars, while New York is celebrated for being the largest city in the country and one of the biggest in the world. Now, a new study highlights what makes each state special, as far as what each U.S. state does best and worst.

The U.S., of course, is made up of 50 states, and each one has its own culture. The American Flag ties all of the states together, with USA.gov noting that "the flag of the United States is a symbol of freedom before which Americans recite the pledge of allegiance" and that "the flag's 13 red and white stripes represent the 13 original colonies," with its "50 white stars on a blue background represent the 50 states."

Another fun fact is that the U.S. is "the world's third largest country in size and nearly the third largest in terms of population," according to National Geographic. "Located in North America, the country is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean," National Geographic adds.

In a Reader's Digest feature, the publication singles out each state and what that state does best and worst. The piece reveals everything from where to find the "most dog-friendly cities to dealing with the highest obesity rates."

For Pennsylvania, the publication says the state is the best at hunting. "Hope you like camo if you live in Pennsylvania where you can find the most licensed hunters per capita," Reader's Digest states, adding that there are more than 20 hunters per square mile. But, they say the state is worst at gas taxes, noting, "the state suffers the highest gasoline taxes."
